What Happened
The console cover in your vehicle is held in place by a latch that keeps it shut in a crash. In some cases, this latch can release too easily and let the cover open, which could hurt you or someone in your car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the latch fails in a crash, the console cover could open and hit you or someone else in the vehicle, potentially causing injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the latch mechanism to make sure the console cover stays shut in an accident — it's a free repair.
